A little bit of this and that

Simple joys of life

– Being as directionally handicapped as I am, I feel elated when I am able to figure out a road :D.
– Overtaking another bike on the road.
– Getting consecutive green signals when on the bike.
– When something I cook turns out to be really tasty.
– Finally finding a bug in the code.
– When he “sacrifices” a football match to go out with me, yeah I need to be told I am more important that a football game all the time :D.
– When I see a comment on the blog (*hint hint*).
– Discovering new series I can get addicted to.
– Seeing the pointer on the weighing machine move slightly to the left.
– Going on a walk with him and discussing random stuff.
– Having a long chat with a friend.
– Opening the gift from its wrapper..It doesn’t matter what the gift inside is.

What are your simple joys?

Edited to add: How could I forget Friday evenings ! They are simply like the light at the end of a very very dark tunnel 😀

1- yes yes yes!
2 – can’t drive for peanuts :((
3 – errr why do you “drivers” keep raving and ranting about it? I love red signals.. Keeps me away from work for longer.. It’s about perspective actually.. What I love in the morning, I can’t in the evening.. LOL!
4 – You have no idea how much I have celebrated this feeling all of last year.. My watery daals turned into real tadka daals and I LOVE myself for it 😛
5 – I am a farji engineer – says it all! Wrote codes in another era.. Never bothered to check the bugs. If bugs happened, I copied other people’s programs.. On floppy disks.. LOL!
6 – Cricket, football, squash – you name it. And yes, I am never sure who’s more important either – Harsha Bhogle or me 😛
7 – Oh yes, totally! *hint hint*
8 – Yes, even if it means Arnab Chakrabarti’s very angst ridden news hour.
9 – I am only glad when it stays still.. Left is not even an option anymore 😦
10 – Hmmm.. 🙂 Long and winding conversations.. Anywhere.. Anytime. Although I can never forget our longest walk together – ALL of Mindspace – starting from Inorbit to nearly all of Malad and Goregaon and back.. LOL!
11 – Yes, especially after a long time..
12 – Totally!

What else? A nice evening out with a bunch of smiley people, especially when it happens after ages.. Planning for holidays, even the ones that never materialize or won’t happen for a couple of years.. R’s elaborate cooking.. A nice email from a client.. A million quick hugs a day.. Friday evenings..

4. totally agree, I started cooking when I moved to Hyderabad, and I never imagined I would actually have fun doing it.

9. Yes, nowadays even that makes me happy :(.. It has been a long time since it went left 😦

10. Wow.. you never realise the distance travelled during these walks, my favourite ones are at Ahmedabad, at my dad’s place.. it is a peaceful place.. and sometimes we keep walking for 1.5~2 hrs without wanting to go back home.

Yes holidays are so much fun, even if its merely a weekend getaway, and planning for them is such a joy too :).. Its so cool that R can cook .. good for you.. P can’t make anything more than maggi..

The joy of Friday evening is a given, that what drives us through the entire week 😀

Don’t worry about blogging in the comment box at all.. its such comments that make blogging so much fun, isn’t it?

So, here is a comment and hope this makes u happy 🙂
Cn relate to most of these and eh, playing with kids, the first rains, long drives, reading a nice book @ peace, watching the first bloom .. life is in these li’l joys no 🙂

(1) Fridays!
(2) Surprise Pasta in the Lunch Box (I know, I am such a kid!) 😉
(3) Marathon of favorite show on Star World on weekends
(4) A good book and a place to read!
(5) Good Music!
(6) And most importantly – CHOCOLATE! 🙂
Cool post! 8)

Umm chocolate… and ice-cream.. and milk-shakes… I stopped myself from putting these things on the list.. trying to forget these yummmy fattening stuff.. in an effort to cut out calories :P.. I don’t think its working anyways 😀

Marathon of shows is fun, though I prefer watching them on computer, ad-free 🙂

Abbah, what long long comments!
Anyway, small joys for me would be
– when the dude stops at my fave chatwala for pani puri, without me asking! 😀
– When there is NO traffic and we reach home in half an hour!
– When I reach late to work, and realise the boss isn’t around!
– When I fit into a apir of jeans I had long given up on!
– Yes, additional comment on the blog, totally! 😀
